As seen on this week’s RAW, WWE Champion Drew McIntyre interrupted one of the main event matches of the evening. Randy Orton vs. Keith Lee in a rematch from Payback 2020 was going on when McIntyre decided to attack Orton. He hit a Claymore Kick on Orton, continuing the feud that led Lee to lose the match via disqualification.
After defeating Randy Orton at Payback in his debut match, Lee had the opportunity to repeat the story on Raw if it was not for Drew McIntyre. So, he wasn’t obviously happy about how things went down on Raw. The Limitless One then expressed his frustration during his appearance on Raw Talk.

Keith Lee seemed to be happy that Drew McIntyre was back from an injury caused by Orton, a couple of weeks ago. But at the same time, he couldn’t believe that he wanted to seek redemption at The Viper at his expense. All he wants is respect from the WWE Champion and he could earn it.

Here’s more of his comments,
“There’s a lot of feelings that I can exude about this. I think I am going to start with the fact that I need to say the very obvious. Drew McIntyre is a friend of mine. We have history, lots of history. Some not so great, some great even before WWE.
Drew, let me just talk to you first. I am very happy that you’re okay, very happy. But I don’t understand this. I get tonight. You got a fractured jaw, you’re fighting through the pain and you wanna pay a guy back, I understand.
Listen, I get why tonight but I have an issue with the fact that I know that you know there’s only one chance that you have to make a first impression and you interfered in that. I have since redeemed you. I have avenged you and said ‘okay, now this is done, I took care of this for you, now you can come back and give him the beating that he deserves.’
I get another opportunity here and you show up and do it again. I don’t understand. Drew, I am happy that you are getting your receipts but please man, I just got here. Give me a chance. If I’m making waves, let me surf bro, please. I am going to respect you and your reign as a champion but please also respect me. Our past doesn’t matter right now, this is about respect man to man. I’m asking you man to man, no more of that. Do what you need to do. No more of my matches. I have to prove that I am limitless. That’s to Drew.”
It’s been noted in recent reports that Keith Lee is set for a huge push on RAW. He is being seen as a locker room leader in the WWE which is the reason why he was brought to the main roster, at the earliest and got inserted into the storyline between Randy Orton and Drew McIntyre. So he could be next on claiming a title opportunity in the near future.
After what transpired on Raw, Keith Lee could turn heel and then go after the WWE Championship in the near future. As of now, Drew McIntyre is set for a rematch with Orton at Clash Of Champions 2020. If the reigning champion retains then chances are pretty high that Lee could become a villain and enter the main-event picture, right away.
